UFC 153: Silva vs. Bonnar

[Slim]

darn you Silva... shoulda at least toyed with the kid til round 2. ah well.

 

[No More Sorrow]

It was sad to see Bonnar go out like that, but i was pleased with the entire show. Great fights all night long.

I'm downloading this show as soon as a download is available somewhere.

Silva is scarily good, its hard to see anybody beating him, and any arguments about him not being the GOAT are silly. Yes Bonnar isn't on his level but he's still a high level fighter and Silva made him look like a fresh faced kid.

Why do Jon Jones and Silva not want a fight against each other? That would be insane.

If Silva loses then MMA fans will use the loss as proof that he was never any good and if JBJ loses then MMA fans will go on about how he lost to a smaller man and was never any good. Whover loses that fight loses big because lets be honest here...a lot of MMA fans seem to share one brain cell between them.

 

[PHX]

Don't think (at least I hope) anyone will be stupid enough to think Silva was never one if not the greatest of all time cause of one loss. That would be like saying Ali isn't that good cause he lost to Fraizer.

 

[The Cork]

Maldonado is one of the toughest motherfuckers I've ever seen.

Also, Anderson clowned Bonnar. Way to prove me wrong, I actually thought it would be close.

Just look at Fedor the amount of people that use his loses to Werdum, Silva and Hendo to prove he never had any talent is ridiculous...maybe I've spent to much time on Sherdog though. 5 minutes there is long enough.

 

[Slim]

I don't spend much time on Sherdog either. Its like... they all wanna believe that they are MMA experts and if you don't agree with what they think then you are an idiot. And of course how they just pretty much talked down Fedor... its dumb.

Really enjoyed this PPV, most of the fights delivered, even Fitch delivered an entertaining fight!

Anderson Silva is a beast, the fact that he was playing with Bonnar the entire fight and then could finish him whenever he wanted showed how good he is. Standing back against the cage to allow Bonnar to come at him and then letting him swing at your face when your hands are down is crazy but he made it work. That knee at the end was brutal.

I am 100% sure that Dave Herman was on something tonight, I am sure that he will test positive to weed or something like that. Nothing else can explain why he fought so stupidly. Standing there flat footed with his arms out and then not moving to stop Big Nog's punches were crazy and the finish proved how dumb he is. He was in an okay position with the armbar and then he rolled so that Big Nog could sink it in further and he put himself in trouble. Five seconds later he rolled back out of it but it was too late. That was one of the dumbest things I have seen from a fighter.

Maldonado has one tough chin, any other fighter would have been KOed early in the first round but on chicken legs he still managed to fight on for another round. It was great when he rocked Teixeira but in the end the doctor made the right decision to stop the fight. Right before the end of the second round he kept holding onto the cage to keep his balance and then he fell in his corner. One very tough dude. I would have picked that as FOTN.

Jon Fitch can make his mortgage payment after getting the FOTN bonus! That match was fantastic and I didn't think that he could do it. When Silva locked in that rear naked choke I was sure it was over, no idea how he couldn't finish him when he had him in the perfect position. Well done to Fitch to fight out of it and stay on the offense.

Davis made Prado look like an amatuer in this fight, Prado seemed off his game even before the fight started and I think that he got caught up in the hype of fighting at home. Davis was never in trouble and Prado really needs to work on his takedown defense. Solid win for Davis and hopefully he can start moving back up the card now.

Maia was too good for Story and it was a nice submission from him. He looked very good out there.

Overall well worth the money.

Its scary just how good AS is, to stand back like that and let Bonnar swing away then just come in and kill him when he decides its time.

 

[Troy]

I loved the bit where his corner was yelling at him to do something but he simply shrugged his shoulders and told them not to worry all whilst Bonnar was pressing up against him on the cage.

What was the deal tonight with the fans booing everyone that wasn't Brazilian? I thought that they were the ones talking about respect and yet they booed the crap out of all the foreign fighters, they needed to remember that Sonnen wasn't on the card.

 

[Deezy]

LOL @ Sherdog, a place full of spammers and trolls.

I got permabanned for saying the mods there are marks.

Also, card was what I expected. Fitch back to winning pleases me.

 

[Dademo]

Glad Anderson (my fav fighter) picked up the win in impressive fashion. Definitely the best UFC fighter ever. GOAT? That's a tough one. Fedor went undefeated in PRIDE for a decade. That's tough to beat. Also agree with Deezy that Jon Fitch winning pleases me. One of the most underrated fighters in the sport and is perfect proof that Zuffa only puts on the title fights that'll make the most money.

 

[Slim]

I finally watched the card... mannnnnn Anderson toyed Bonnar. Made him look bad.

Glover was vicious. But homie showed a lot of heart in not only withstanding all of that abuse but still wanting to fight. But it was the right call to stop the fight.

Big Nog... well... Herman deserved to tap. How you going to say Jiu Jitsu doesn't work? That guy was just asking for it.

But this was a pretty good card. I enjoyed it. I gotta rewatch the Fitch fight though.

 

[MaNonTheMoon]

This fight with Bonnar is why Silva stays at Middleweight. Because at LHW, he tends to make it look almost TOO easy. Fucked up Irvin in their fight, Made Forrest look like a rank amature in their fight, evaded damn near every punch and made him run away after the fight, Actually made Bonnar look WORSE than Forrest by posting up against the cage for the entire 4 minutes of the fight.

The man just looks unstoppable at 205 pounds.
